review 1: Frank was good at being frank and that's all he knew what to do. One day when Frank was a little too frank his friends got upset with him, he got sent to the office, and he got in trouble with his mom. Frank decided he'd go confide in his grandfather. His grandfather teaches Frank that you can be honest and still be nice at the same time. When Frank is confronted with a few situations he has the opportunity to be polite, what will he do? Will he remember to be honest and nice? Or will he just be plain frank? Great book for all ages. This can be used to teach students how to be honest and kind at the same time and to use other manners. Honesty is the best policy but there is a sweeter way in doing so rather than just being frank. An activity your students can do is make a T... more-Chart or a Vinn Diagram with frank responses and polite responses. Have them write a paragraph on why it is better to be polite rather than frank.

review 2: Frank's motto was "Honesty is the best Policy". He always told the truth. He told his teacher she had bad breath, his mom that she had wrinkles, etc. Everyone was angry with him, except for the police men, because he told him the truth (yes, his mom knew she was speeding). Frank goes to his grandpa and asks for help and advice. His grandpa knows just what to do. He shows Frank how you can be honest but kind at the same time.I wish I had this book when I was younger! I totally had a Frank problem! My parents say I used to have "no filter." I remember it was hard for me to understand why being honest all the time wasn't a good thing. This book explains it well. I think other kids would be helped by this book! I love how Frank is just honest and a good kid, but he just doesn't get why people are mad at him. Grandpa explains everything really well.**NOTE I got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. less
